You ask them for their patience. They're tied up and gagged, so they don't have any problem with that.

When Tiny Peep and your other boys show up with B'theno, you get started.

Gripe of the Skaters is here. He's a hard little buzzard who won the boss position a million years ago by killing his own dad. Next to him is Southside of the Norths (you might cap him just because of his name). After that, is Deena Maxx of the Chiseled Dolls, from over on 135th Street. She leads those working girls who rose up during the Rev, cutting pieces off of as many of their their pimps and clients as they could catch.

And now you have B'theno of the Hollytown Gang, which holds a monopoly on recdrugs and grainshine for this entire end of town – a market the Hollytowners protect fiercely.

Instead of Southside, you shoot B'theno.

Boom. One to the stomach with your badger. He goes down, gasping and moaning, and starting to die slow. Real slow, the way you need. It'll take hours, maybe days.

You and your boys leave them all there, to watch B'theno go, crying and groaning. They're tied up and gagged, so they don't have any problem with that.

After midnight, Tiny Peep says B'theno's still around, but looks bad. The other ones have all crapped and and wet themselves, since it's been so long. They're real scared, too. Maybe. Tough to tell with the gags.

You decide to wait.

The next day, Tiny Peep says the boss of the Hollytowners is still breathing, but probably not for long.

You wait some more.

He comes back while you're having aftermeal with Eldon, and tells you that B'theno's finally kicked it. Tough guy, he says with admiration, and you agree. Eldon doesn't comment.

You finish your pie, give her a kiss, then go and have a talk with the others. You ungag them. You untie them. You stand right next to B'theno there on the floor (who went all gray and stinky at some point, leaking out of every hole – he almost makes you purge, man, but you hold it in).

You tell them you're the boss. You tell them they work for you. They're going to cough up regular percentages from now on. It's business, you say. Enterprise. The entire city's going to be yours.

They're not tied up or gagged, but they don't have any problem with that.
